Selecting 25 founding brands

Apply to join the founding cohort.

Zeekend is selecting 25 hand-picked Shopify brands to build with us through the founding cohort. If you're an established DTC operator who wants to own your marketing intelligence instead of renting it, you're in the right place.

Founding brands keep their pricing locked for 24 months, get a direct line to the founders for issues and feature requests, and shape what we build next. The first 90 days are free.

In return, we ask for honest feedback and one 30-minute conversation every two weeks. That's the deal.

What we look for

✓ $25K+ monthly GMV. Below this, your customer data is too thin for our segmentation to surface anything useful. We'd rather be honest than waste your time.
✓ On Shopify, with a real email program. You're using Klaviyo, Sendlane, or similar. You have flows running. You know what your open rate is.
✓ You sell DTC, not just wholesale. Our wedge is around direct-to-consumer engagement. If 80%+ of your revenue is wholesale, this isn't the right fit yet.
✓ You'll talk to us. Founding brands get founder-level access. In return, we ask for honest feedback and one 30-minute call every two weeks.

A note on why we're being selective. We're early. The product works well for established brands and not yet for everyone. Letting in the wrong stores would hurt them, hurt us, and hurt the brands who should be there. So we're being deliberate. If you don't qualify today, we'll tell you honestly and let you know when we open up.
